Web Notes notes for Humphrey DE BOHUN 7th Earl Of Hereford
Per Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (97:30), (152A:29), Earl of Hereford & Essex and Constable of England. Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Essex, p.135).
Humphrey de Bohun VII was born circa 1249. He succeeded his grandfather as the 3rd Earl of Hereford and the 2nd Earl of Essex and Lord High Constable. He is said to have inherited the high and daring spirit of his predecessors, often strenuously opposed to the measures of the court, and was often therefore in disgrace, but he appears at the close of his career to have regained royal favor, for we find him attending the king into Scotland in 1298 when that monarch (Edward I) obtained a great victory near Roxburgh. He was associated with Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and other barons in their opposition to what was considered to be unfair taxation by King Edward I. He died in Pleshey (Boroughbridge), in 1297, and was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.
